Change from Hacker News to Microsoft news
There have been at least a half dozen Microsoft articles today. Seriously Gates, knock it off please.
- dragonwriter 13y agoIts BUILD. Lots of MS announcements on the kinds of things HN is interested in. Around I/O you'll probably see lots of Google stuff. That's just the way it goes. Composition of news of interest to the HN crowd isn't consistent day to day, and sometimes there are clumps of stuff relating to a particular actor.
- dang 13y agoThere's nothing wrong with a wave of Microsoft stories on their big day, and it's nice to see MS getting their act together. If there are duplicates, or fluff, we'll penalize them. But the stories you're complaining about are, unless I'm missing something, reasonable front page material. As dragonwriter pointed out, HN sees the same thing on Google's and Apple's big announcement days. Or YC demo days for that matter. Your post, though, really should have been—at best—an email to hn@ycombinator.com. "Seriously Gates, knock it off please" is pretty lame, as was that title.
